We’ve all heard the advice that networking is important for our careers. And regardless of your profession, your industry or demographic, the message is loud and clear. If you want to be successful, you need to spend time networking. It’s great advice.But the critical missing piece to this advice is exactly how to network.
There’s an old adage that if you throw spaghetti against the wall and it sticks, the pasta is done. Over the years, this phrase has evolved to mean that when you throw enough activity or ideas at a situation or problem, eventually something will stick; eventually you will find the answer. So when we’re told we need to network to help us be successful, those of us who are ambitious, tackle the problem with this approach. We throw a lot of activity at the issue and hope for the best. We go to lots of networking events and conferences, collect and hand out hundreds of business cards. We establish an online presence and build a large group of followers. Unfortunately, this doesn’t result in the type of network that supports our career advancement. It has no purpose or intention.

It takes a village to have a successful career; people who provide you with information, connect you to others, help you get your job done, advocate for you, mentor, guide, and sponsor you. And to build this type of network, your networking activity needs to be strategic. To create the type of network that supports your ambition, your efforts must be intentional and purposeful.
What holds you back?
Your mindset. The first thing that prevents us from building a strategic network is our mindset that networking is self-serving. And when we believe that any attempt to establish relationships is only for our benefit, we are less inclined to pursue these conversations. “It’s all about me and I’m uncomfortable asking for help.” A strong network, however, is built with mutually beneficial relationships; where both parties benefit. In the process of getting to know someone, you understand how you can add value and help them, and they are then willing to help you.
You limit your network. Our comfort level is to network with people we know and like; people with similar backgrounds and points of view. Research shows us that this type of closed network, limits our exposure to people who can offer new connections and ideas.
You aren’t strategic. We use the ‘spaghetti against the wall’ approach and don’t build a network focused on our career goal and ambition. We spend our time meeting random people and hope that this effort will deliver an important contact over time.
You aren’t proactive. We wait until we need help for a new job or assistance selling a new concept or idea. We wait until we have a need and then discover that we no longer have much of a support network. We haven’t reached out to our contacts or nurtured the relationships and now we feel uncomfortable asking for help.
You don’t schedule time to network. I hear the excuse that there’s no time to network from many women. They can’t go out for drinks or attend networking events after work most nights. My answer is to schedule time on your weekly calendar for a coffee or lunch and then reach out to people to meet you during the work day. Be strategic about which evening events are worthwhile for you and try going to one or two meetings to assess if that organization is one that will expose you to new people.
You don’t leverage relationships. We meet a lot of people and take their business cards and have an initial conversation but never follow up. The result is that we don’t have real relationships. We don’t know these people and they don’t know us. Be strategic about your connections and take the time to get to know people with the potential for mutually beneficial relationships.
How do you create a strategic network?
Start with your career goal. What are you hoping to achieve in the next 3-5 years? Then ask yourself, who do you know and who do you need to know to help you reach that goal.
Understand your value proposition. How does your work contribute to positive business outcomes? This value proposition positions you as credible and helps you build influence. Your value proposition helps you create mutually beneficial relationships because you understand how you can help others. Once you get how you can help others, you eliminate the limiting belief that your networking activity is self-serving.
Build mutually beneficial relationships. As you meet people, ask them open-ended questions about their work. What are they working on? What are some of their current challenges? If there an opportunity for you to help by connecting them to a resource or guide them based on your value proposition and/or experience? This is how you create strong relationships.
Find allies and champions. A strong network supports and advocates for you. It helps you sell your ideas across the organization, promotes you for new opportunities. Once you make connections and offer to help others achieve their goals, your contacts will respond in kind when you have a need.
Be strategic. Be thoughtful about who is in your network and the best way to connect with these people. Spend your time wisely by focusing on these relationships and nurturing them over time. Be deliberate about what organizations and events you attend to help you connect with potential contacts. And take action!

You’ve tried. Really, you have. You feel like you’ve been giving it your all. But despite your best efforts, for some reason, you can’t find a job.
It’s frustrating and, perhaps even soul crushing, but don’t despair. You need to do your best to maintain hope and stay motivated…it’s the best way to make progress!
Here are some tips on what to do when you can’t find a job.
Can’t find a job? Consider these 12 tips
Take a break.
We’re not talking about ditching your job search entirely, or taking a months-long break. No, what we mean is that you’ve been trying to find a job for so long that at this point you’re probably burnt out from the entire ordeal.
“It’s ok to take some time off from your job search once in a while. Allow yourself a day or a few days off and spend that time doing something that energizes you and makes you happy, and reflect on what’s going well in your search. Afterwards, you’ll find you’ll be able to get back to your job search with a renewed sense of energy and purpose,” says Toni Frana, one of FlexJobs’ expert career coaches.

Some people will move to a different city, state, or country in order to find a job in their field. But if you’re looking for a remote job, you don’t have to do that! That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t look specifically where the jobs are though. “Do a bit of research on which industries and type of jobs are hiring for remote workers to help speed along your search,” suggests Frana.
Spruce up your online presence.
Studies have shown that the majority of hiring managers will look at a person’s online presence even before reaching out to them for a job interview. How do your social media profiles look? Are they a mishmash of (public) family photos and some political point-of-view posts? One of the most important aspects of your job search is to ensure that your online presence is up to date and professional. Take the time to clean out your profiles, or create some new ones that show you in a more professional light, and keep them current so potential bosses can see that you’re active on social media…for all the right reasons.
Get skilled or schooled—or both.
Truth be told, you’ve been applying for some jobs that you weren’t exactly qualified for. But if you think that you can slip past a potential employer—or the applicant tracking system, which is designed to weed out unqualified candidates—think again. Employers won’t hire someone who doesn’t have the majority of the skills, education, or job experience necessary for the position. So if you can’t find a job because you need to boost your skill set, consider going back to school or finding online resources to gain the skills you need.
Change your mindset.
It’s easy to feel defeated if you’ve been job searching for a long time…and nada. There might be a chance that you’re not putting all your best effort into each and every job application you submit.
You might be thinking, “I’m not going to get the job anyway, so why bother writing a new cover letter for the position?” With that attitude, you’re right, you definitely won’t get the position. Try to get excited (at least a little) for each job you apply for.
“Just like taking a break from your job search is important, so is having the right mindset. It is hard to be a job seeker, applying for many jobs and possibly not hearing back from employers. Work to focus on the progress you are making with each application—honing your search tactics, getting efficient with your application process, and understanding what keywords to use for an ATS are all important tools to use as you go through your search. Each time you apply for a job, you are improving your process, and that’s great progress to landing a job. Celebrate those small steps!” says Frana.
Try temping.
If your bills are mounting, it may be time to take on a temporary gig. Temping is an excellent way to get your foot in the door at a company, learn some new skills, and most importantly, get paid. And you never know, some temps, even those who are seasonal, are often offered permanent positions once their original gig ends.
Network.
It’s the bane of (almost) every job seeker’s existence. Networking can feel schmoozy and phony at best, and it can be hard to sell yourself to each person you meet at a networking event. But networking still stands to be one of the best ways to meet new people and generate new leads. If you’re not so much for the glad-handing aspect of networking, there are many online networking events you can do from the comfort of your home office that can yield the same great results.
Review your resume.
You’ve looked at your resume so many times you can recite it verbatim. But if you can’t find a job, that right there might be the problem. When you’ve read (and reread) your resume so often, there’s a much greater tendency to miss some major mistakes.
“It’s always a great idea to have someone else review your resume before you submit it. A spouse, family member, friend, or resume review expert can look at your document with a fresh set of eyes and let you know if there are any glaring mistakes to correct before applying for a job. If that’s not an option, try changing the font, font size, and font color and then rereading your resume so it looks different to you. Then, when you are satisfied, change it back to the right font before applying,” offers Frana.
Consider other industries.
It might not be exactly what you want, but if you’ve tried and tried to find a job and can’t pinpoint it to one specific thing, it might be time to look at other jobs in various fields. Don’t consider it a failure, though. You might discover you really enjoy a new career field much more than you thought you would, and you’d be surprised how many of your skills are probably transferable skills from one field to another. And remember, having a career change can prove to be a very exciting time in your professional life.
Look for other types of flexible work arrangements.
You might have your heart set on working from home, but that might not be in the cards…for now. But there are many types of flexible jobs under the big banner of work flexibility. Expand your search to part-time jobs, freelance or contract gigs, flexible schedules, alternative schedules, or any combination of those. Being open to these other types of flexibility can lead you to job openings you may not have found if you were only searching for full-time, remote jobs.
Practice your interviewing skills.
Interviews can trip up even the most polished job seeker. That’s why you should try to upgrade your interviewing skills. You can practice with friends, family, or even fellow job seekers who might be able to offer tips on what you’re doing right and where you might need some improvement. If you have a career mentor or a former boss who you’re friendly with, you should ask if they can do a mock interview with you, too. If not, you may want to consider online career coaching as an option to get constructive and actionable feedback. When the time comes for you to interview, you’ll likely be better prepared.
Pinpoint the problem.
It’s been a struggle for you to find a job. But why? What part of the job search process is giving you the most trouble? Is it that you can’t find jobs that you want to apply to? Or do you not hear back from employers after submitting your application? Are you getting to the interview stage and then getting passed over for positions? Understanding why you can’t find a job is a great way towards getting one!
For example, if you’re lamenting the lack of quality jobs in your industry, it might be that you’re looking in the wrong places. Big-box job search sites offer lots of positions, but probably the vast majority don’t apply to you, your qualifications, or your flexible work needs. If you’re looking for a work-from-home job, you should use a niche site (like FlexJobs) that offer only legitimate flexible and remote jobs.
If you’re not getting invited to interview, consider if your application is the best it can be. Make sure that your resume has a modern format and contains relevant work experience to the job you’re applying to. What about your cover letter? Is it generic, or edited for each position? Take the time to customize your application, and you should see results right away.
If you’re getting to interview with hiring managers or employers, and not landing the job, are your interviewing skills rusty, or are you unsure of how to sell yourself during an interview? Practice can help you work out the kinks so that you can get hired for the job that you want.

Here are 12 Great Tips.
Seasonal timing has a large impact on a job search. It can work in your favor or impede your progress. For the job seeker, each month will present different challenges and opportunities.
If you’re planning to launch or continue a job search in October, here’s what you need to know to use your time wisely and maximize your efforts.
1. It’s the busiest hiring month of the year
You may think that January is the busiest month for hiring, but it is actually October. The fall hiring cycle is short and intense; it picks up in September and slows in November, creating a unique concentration of activity in October. Add to this the additional demands of seasonal retail hiring and the opportunities available in the October job market typically outpace any other month.
For most industries there is a push in October to wrap up end-of-year hiring before the holiday distractions begin. Recruiters and hiring managers have figured out their fall talent needs in September and are now focused on scheduling interviews, making decisions and filling roles.
Now is the time to ask yourself: how important is it to you to secure a new job by the end of the year?
Passive job seekers can use October as a great time to cast a wide net of discussions and see what’s available in the market. You can take your time and stay in evaluation mode with the knowledge that while there may be a break in activity over the holidays, you can pick back up with a more focused search in January.
If you want, or more importantly need, a new job in the next two months, you are going to have to focus in on your best prospects and devote significant time to your job search in the month of October. Carving out this time, especially if already employed, is not going to be easy so you have to get clear about your priorities to maintain momentum. Stay true to your goals and don’t let yourself get distracted.

If you are just launching a job search in the month of October, you need to ramp up your search as soon as possible. The hiring slowdown of November will be here before you know it.
However, many new job seekers spend weeks working on their resume before starting their initial outreach. Please heed my advice: you do not have time to perfect your resume in October. Spend a maximum of a day or two working on your resume. Seek feedback from one other person and make revisions, then start sending it out.
Resumes of course do matter so make sure you’re sharing the full picture of your capabilities and accomplishments, but don’t spend extra time tweaking the style or overthinking the sentences. Get the facts pulled together in a simple, clean format and refocus your precious time on crafting introduction emails, networking and preparing for interviews. These tasks are much more important to the success of your search.
In October, you want to spend the bulk of your time reaching out to people that know you already or were introduced to you by someone you know. These warmer leads and positive references will help you get on the radar faster and gain a place of priority among other candidates.
Always seek a warm lead over simply applying online. It will produce better results and save you an enormous amount of time wasted on jobs that are already filled or have too many candidates for you to break through and get noticed.
Keep in mind that the hiring process moves faster during this time of year; you won’t have weeks to prepare for discussions or interviews. Start working on crafting a concise and compelling career story and improving your interview skills now.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, know that a busy October job market may not result in an abundance of opportunities, given your unique circumstances. Work hard at generating leads, but prepare yourself emotionally for the frustration of converting them to interviews and offers.
October is a demanding month and it may induce high anxiety and disappointment. This is normal for all job seekers, no matter how talented they are. Try your best to be kind to yourself throughout the process.
3. Negotiations may catch you by surprise
The good news about October is that hiring decisions are made quickly. However, that speed can be disorienting and catch you off guard if you aren’t ready to negotiate for yourself.
When compensation discussions are brought up earlier than you’re expecting, it usually signals that you are a top candidate and the company is making the assumption that your next round of interviews will go well. They are trying to get ahead of the offer process so they don’t lose time with mismatched expectations or hit roadblocks with internal approvals. All of this is in an attempt to be more efficient.
Being asked prematurely about your compensation requirements, or even receiving an unexpected offer, are certainly good problems to have. Just make sure you are ready to advocate for your own interests.
Long before you receive an offer, you should know what your deal breakers are, what salary range you hope to be in and what things outside of compensation have additional value for you (i.e. flexible hours, working from home, professional development, etc.). Always be prepared to communicate your wants and desires.
You will be more likely to confidently balance your interest in the role with your desire to get what you deserve if you are not flustered or surprised. Start thinking now about what you want and why. Plan time to practice for your offer negotiation discussions in the same way that you prepare for an interview. With practice you will be more thoughtful and succinct, and your delivery will flow naturally.
And yes, you should always negotiate any offer, no matter what. This doesn’t mean that you should arrogantly or aggressively push for large swings in the level of compensation, but you should respectfully request at least one or two concessions (a higher base salary, a sign-on bonus, a slight adjustment in title, additional vacation, etc.) that would make the offer more appealing to you and then allow the company an opportunity to possibly improve it. Even if they say no, it is worth asking.
Overall, October is a great month for a job search, but it will tax your stamina and emotions. Getting and staying prepared will serve you well.

Most of the resumes I review each year suffer from an identity crisis and are uninspiring. They’ve been created in cookie-cutter fashion, filled with overused words and phrases, are not aligned with the employer’s needs and open with a vague statement that “tells” the employer what they are looking for …”to utilize my skills and experience …” (insert yawn.)
A resume with an identity crisis leaves the reader confused and unable to discern exactly what direction the person is going with their career or the value they bring to the organization. More than that, this type of resume doesn’t:
Differentiate you from your competition.
Provide context. It’s all generic fluff that sounds like hundreds of other candidates.
Make it easy for the hiring authority to determine how you solve their specific business pain.
Prepare you for interviews.
Say anything unique at all.
Still today, job seekers hold fast to the belief that employers want an objective statement along with a full obituary of their career. And, they continue to create generic resumes with basic job descriptions, tasks, and experiences. Resumes have evolved.
Today’s Resumes:
Are focused and make it easy for hiring manages to grasp your value (what you can do for them), where you worked (your unique experiences), and the impact of your efforts.
Are bold and go beyond simply showing titles, dates, and job duties.
Demonstrate your value and frame how you made a difference.
Do not use generic objective statements or overused phrases.
Convey perception (how you want to be perceived); alignment (who you are and where you are going); and a summary (the argument for your worthiness to be hired for the position).
Are unique to the applicant and not a copy of another person’s document.

Your resume should connect with your audience and build the hiring authority’s confidence in you by proving your value.
If you’re uncertain of the direction you want to go in your career, find the common thread and then emphasize where your skills and qualifications intersect with the employer’s needs.
It All Starts with a Strategy — No matter the circumstance, to create a great resume, you need a strategy before you start writing.
What is your career goal?
Who is your target audience?
What value do you offer (skills and competencies for the industry targeted)?
In the end, a clear direction will help shorten your job search.

When it comes to career advice,the more you can get, the better. However, some pieces of advice are more critical than others. That’s why I’ve gathered some of the best career takeaways from successful creative female powerhouses.
In honor of Women’s History Month, I asked a group of powerful women entrepreneurs to share some unconventional advice they have for other women looking to advance in their career. Here’s what they had to say:
Networking is one of the most crucial parts of building a career or business. One tip I always share on networking is to network horizontally. Networking doesn’t always mean attending events or trying to connect with someone you admire. Networking can also mean getting close with the people in the trenches with you as you evolve in your career. Over the years, those people will move on to other positions and you never know how you can help each other in the future.

2- Ginger Siegel, North America Small Business Lead for Mastercard
“You don’t need to do it alone. Access to mentorship programs and supportive communities are critical to career advancement.”
Paige Adams-Geller, Founder & Creative Director of PAIGE
“I believe the most important quality to have to move ahead in your career is to show passion in every job you have. Even if you are not in your dream job, you need to put your best foot forward. You never know who you will meet or who will end up shaping your future. I would never be where I am today by taking my jobs for granted. I was able to build my dream team when I started PAIGE. Everyone I asked to come on the adventure with me said yes. I believe it is because I gave my best always.
“Remember that your career or business is a marathon, not a sprint. Do not try to be an overnight success or a one-hit wonder. Slow and steady wins the race. Take your time to develop the skills you need. No one expects you to know everything out of the gate.”
3- Sophie Kelly, SVP North America Whiskey
“Be audacious! Treat your career as an exciting story, one you want to tell, each chapter adding new experiences and capabilities to your professional and life journey. Be passionate, show up and do what you love. Push other women forward, too.”
4- Julie Smolyansky, President and CEO of Lifeway Foods
Go with your gut. Never doubt it. Nurture it. Make it stronger. Make listening to it part of your self-care routine. It will never lead you astray. Even if it tells you something you don’t want to hear, trust that voice; it will guide you to the right destination . If it recommends a career transition, a new job or circle of friends, trust it blindly. Make that a foundation you can always turn to in moments of doubt or on hard days.”
5- Bruna Schmitz, Professional Surfer, Model, and Roxy Brand Ambassador
“Make realistic goals and surround yourself with people you admire. Learn to work hard and embrace setbacks as part of the process. Accept constructive criticism, but most of all, stay open to new ideas and different ways of doing things. Exploring the unknown and welcoming change is an enriching experience.”
6- Sami Fishbein, Cofounder & COO, Betches Media & Ship
“One of the most important career choices a woman can make is actually the type of life partner she chooses. It’s critical to have supportive relationships when chasing your dreams, so that you can feel confident and strong enough to move past obstacles.”

Who needs the 9-5 grind and struggling to pay rent in an expensive place like San Francisco or New York? These days, you can easily quit your day job, travel the world and work anywhere, since your office can be wherever you open your laptop. According to a study by Global Workplace Analytics and FlexJobs, the remote workforce has grown by 159% since 2005, and remote workers will make up as much as 50% of the entire workforce by 2020.
The statistics also show another exciting trend for digital nomads: Remote work gives women, especially female entrepreneurs, an edge and is helping close the wage gap. And here’s the best part: By earning U.S. dollars as a digital nomad and staying in countries that are much cheaper than at home, you can live very well.
We poured through a number of resources to sleuth out some creative ways that digital nomads have found to make money while traveling the world, from the website International Living—which just issued a new report detailing creative methods expats are making money abroad—to FlexJobs, which recently published a story on the best fields to earn money remotely. The lesson? It’s time to rip up the old rules and try something new.
Read on for some exciting ways to work online from wherever you choose and live the dream travel life.
1. Set Up an Online Course
Do you have a skill that you want to share? International Living suggests setting up an online course with written tutorials, PDF downloads and videos. For instance, Rebecca Groskruetz used her talent for furniture painting to create a site where members can go at their own pace. When she soft-launched the business, she sold 33 programs at $127 each. After doing a bigger launch later the same year, she sold 216 programs at $149 each. Her total sales the first year: $36,375. Some online resources for teaching courses include TakeLessons, Udemy and Skillshare.

Another way to take advantage of your skills: Become an online tutor. The website Cambly helps you get paid to chat with people from around the world. While you’re doing the tutoring, the site automatically tracks the time you spend, paying $10.20 an hour. While that might not sound like a lot, consider the fact that you can set your own hours, work as little or as much as you want—and if you’re living abroad, $10.20 an hour can go a long way.
3. Become a Travel Agent
Do you love to share advice on travel? Put your expertise to work and become a travel advisor. You can sign up for courses through a place like The Travel Institute. Or you can pay a fee to a company like Cruise Planners, which recruits and trains advisors to work remotely not only in planning cruises but in all kinds of travel—on land and at sea. The company was started in 1994 by a woman named Michelle Fee, who didn’t take a paycheck for the first three years so that she could invest back into the business. Now in its 25th year, Cruise Planners is the nation’s largest home-based travel agent franchise with more than 2,500 franchisees.
4. Be a Juror
Here’s a case where you won’t dread jury duty. The site eJury has revolutionized the way that lawyers prepare for trial by creating online mock juries and focus groups that help attorneys determine prepare case. You’ll get paid for participating.
This one’s easy: Just add the site Qmee to your browser. If you click on a search result, you’ll earn money. You can also earn cash rewards for taking online Qmee surveys and sharing your opinions on brands.
7. Become a Virtual Assistant
Are you organized and resourceful? As a virtual assistant, you make money by helping people and businesses with tasks ranging from data entry to research to customer service—the sky’s the limit. The website VANetworking was founded by a virtual assistant and is loaded with tips and job leads.
8. Sell Your Photos and Videos
If you’re traveling, it’s likely that you’re surrounded by gorgeous photo ops, and now that digital cameras are widely available, photography and videography can be a good way to earn an income. Stock websites make it easy for photographers and videographers to upload their work, then will market on your behalf and create passive income for you while you’re off shooting the next beautiful location. Stock agencies looking for submissions include Shutterstock, Photoshelter, Fotolia and iStock.
9. Become a Travel Writer
Again, if you’re traveling the world, it’s the perfect opportunity to write about your experiences and get paid for it. That said, making money as a travel writer isn’t easy since you must be able to sell your articles or create a revenue-producing travel blog. But where there’s a will, there’s a way, and Lonely Planet even published an entire book on the topic, “How to Be a Travel Writer,” available in print and as an e-book.
10. Write an E-Book
Speaking of e-books, it’s a great way to turn your expertise into a platform that people will buy, creating a form of passive income. Kindle even has a step-by-step guide for how to create, publish and market an e-book.
11. Publish an E-Book
According to International Living, an even faster and easier way to make money with e-books is to find a book that has already been published in print and license it to publish online. “The person doing the online publishing gets the lion’s share of the money—paying the author the standard 8% to 15% royalties based on net sales,” says International Living. You can sometimes do a one-time payment for the rights to publish online, like Vic Johnson. “I once bought the rights to a book for $200, simply because I liked the content,” says Johnson. “Over the years, I’ve made over $50,000 selling it as an e-book.” Consider this statistic: There are over 44 million print books on Amazon but only 2.6 million Kindle books—that’s a lot of material that could be converted to e-books.
12. Teach English
Most people think you need to be living in a place to teach English to foreign students. But as GoOverseas.com points out, “With video chatting and conferencing growing easier and more reliable every year, teaching English lessons online is another great way to fund your life abroad or at home.” For a slew of companies that will set you up with online students, check out this article on Teach Away. Rates for teaching English online can go up to $22 an hour.
13. Create Software Reviews
If you have strong opinions about software, whether positive or negative, you can get paid for creating reviews. SoftwareJudge.com pays up to $50 dollars for, as they describe it, “tell-it-like-it-is, no marketing BS, straight-talking software reviews.”
14. Let Someone Pick Your Brain
Do people always want to pick your brain? Now you can get paid for it via the website Clarity, which has curated a community of passionate experts and thought leaders who are being sought out by fellow entrepreneurs in a vast range of fields.
15. Create a Blog
So you’re an expert on a topic? Create a blog about it. “Always think about the value you’re providing,” says International Living. “Why should anyone read what you’re writing? What’s in it for them?” The best blogs showcase your experiences by providing info that’s helpful to others. So how to earn money? A big method is by affiliate income: earning a commission if people end up buying someone thanks to your blog. “Right now, my biggest source of affiliate income is from Amazon, which is anywhere from $300 to $600 per month,” says Ali Garland who has been blogging since 2009. “And the great thing about this type of income is that the money keeps rolling in even if I decide to take a couple of days, or even a week, off.” The blogger Nomadic Matt has multiple e-courses on the topic.
16. Become an Account Manager
“If you have exceptional listening skills, as well as the ability to anticipate the needs of others, becoming an account manager could be a good career choice for you,” says FlexJobs. Some of these positions include pharmacist account executive, link building specialist and account strategist.
17. Make a Podcast That Pays
Podcasts are red-hot. Want to create one? All you really need is a laptop and a good microphone. And here’s the other good news: Podcasts don’t need to run daily, and because they’re not live, you can record multiple episodes at once. According to International Living, there are many ways to make money from a podcast: commercial sponsorships or advertising products or services. “I can record and broadcast a podcast wherever I am in the world,” podcaster Luis Congdon tells International Living. “It’s remarkably simple, and it can also be profitable. Using a lightweight and low-cost microphone and a laptop I’ve recorded from a hut in the Philippines, a co-working space in Bali and even while staying on a farm in Colombia.”
18. Get Crafty
Are you a crafty entrepreneur? Everyone knows the site Etsy, which is a marketplace for handmade items. But now you can sell your jewelry and other handmade wares on sites like Amazon Handmade, ArtFire, Cargoh and more. You’ll find many more resources in this helpful article.
19. Write
You don’t just need to write about travel when you’re traveling. If you’re a good writer, you can probably write about anything. According to International Living, Leslie Patrick Moore is a writer who lives in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico and earns two-thirds of her income by crafting marketing copy for companies. “My creativity has been able to flourish here without having to constantly worry about money,” says Moore. “And it doesn’t hurt that my office is often my hammock, set amidst the colorful bougainvillea that grow against the brick walls in our backyard.” One company that hires online writers is iWriter, which pays up to $80 per 500 words once you’re promoted up the ranks.
20. Create “How-To” Videos
Jump on the YouTube vlogging wagon by creating how-to video courses. How do you earn money? “Instructors can monetize their videos by charging a subscription fee or password protecting content for paying customers only,” says International Living. “Once you have a loyal and engaged following, you can start partnering with brands that will pay a fee to have their product mentioned or reviewed.”
21. Narrate Audiobooks
Thanks to smartphones, there’s a boom happening right now in the audiobooks industry, according to International Living, which is in turn creating a demand for freelance narrators. “My typical ‘work day’ consists of two to four hours of recording during late morning and early afternoon,” says Meghan Crawford, a freelance audiobook narrator. “I started being my own boss last September. In that time, I have more than doubled what I made at my previous work.” International Living says that even new narrators can earn an average of $100 an hour based on completed work.
22.Translate
Do you speak another language? Consider doing translating. “Translation positions are plentiful in an ever-melding world with more global travel among those who speak different languages,”says FlexJobs, which offers a sampling of available positions. The website Smartling also makes it easy to become a translator.
23. Do Internet Research
According to International Living, you can make good money (up to $50 an hour) by surfing the internet. “An interesting new income category has emerged, thanks in part to the world of ‘fake news,’” says Winton Churchill, the founder of an international training and consulting company. “Companies and individuals are more concerned than ever with fact-checking the information they use on their websites and in their promotional materials. And they’re willing to pay someone to make sure it’s correct.”
24. Become a Day Trader
Are you a whiz with the stock market? It’s possible to earn a living by day trading, which can be done anywhere in the world. Marcello from WanderingTrader.com tells how to turn it into a profitable career that will allow you to travel.
25. Be a Freelance Designer
Are you a talented designer with skills in areas like graphics or web design? You can do what you love and get paid for it on the website 99Designs.com, which will allow you to become a part of a global community of designers and bid on jobs.
26. Fundraise
According to FlexJobs, digital nomads can make money by helping with fundraising “Fundraising positions are designed to garner the funding needed for projects and to maintain a business entity’s operations,” says FlexJobs. “Donations can be solicited in the form of monetary tithing or gifts for a nonprofit organization.” Here’s a sampling of positions to look for: senior digital strategist, eCRM contractors, senior campaigner.
27. Freelance
Need more ideas? There are tons of general freelance websites loaded with opportunities from companies and small businesses. Some of these include Upwork.com, a website for freelancers in fields ranging from sales and marketing to accounting to customer service. Or you can market your own services—whatever they are—on sites like Fiverr.
I’m a travel and lifestyle authority and a content strategist who works with brands to create powerful storytelling, build audiences and drive profitability. In this col…

When unhappy professionals contact me to discuss their biggest obstacles around changing careers, usually the focus is on getting other people in their new field of interest to pay attention. I’ll hear:
· I only get called in for the same old jobs (i.e., my old career)
· Employers are only interested in hiring people who have done the job before
· I think my resume or title or story doesn’t translate
All of these things may be true. It’s certainly true that people hire people, so you will need to convince others along the way. But in my 11+ years of career coaching, the biggest obstacle I have seen isn’t with other people, but with the career changers themselves. Career change takes longer than a typical job search. You have to rebrand yourself. You have to learn about a completely new market. You have to meet and establish relationships with different people. All this means you need to be comfortable with being a beginner again.
Not everyone wants to feel like a rookie after years of other professional success, and as the discomfort mounts, the career change journey stops. That said, many people have successfully changed careers (like the cop turned travel agent or the taco shop owner who used to be in film). I was over 40 when I changed my business focus, and I don’t feel like I’m done. If you are really serious about changing careers, you can do it. Here are four questions to test your commitment:
Successful career changers are not running away from the old career, but rather they are running towards the new career. Successful career changers have defined exactly what their priorities are for this next stage and are willing to stick to them, even when these are radically different from what might have mattered before.
In her new book, What Game Are You Playing?, author and Equifax COO of International Robin Moriarty likens this steadfastness of priority to playing your own game. Some people play the salary game, where earning the most money determines the winner. Some people play the prestige game, where title rules. Moriarty, an avid traveler, defined her game as “Spending the Most Time in the Coolest Places”. When she came to a decision crossroads and was tempted to follow the tried-and-true career path of more money, more title, she reminded herself of how she defined success. On one stop in her career, this meant taking a job in Argentina that paid Argentinian wages – not the most prestigious, not the highest pay, but the right step for her:
There is not one definition of success.We have options.
If you’re committed, you’ll make moves that others may not understand (or even you might be hesitant about) but make perfect sense in your own game.

As a career changer, you don’t only have to convince other people, like employers or new contacts you want to network with, but you also must convince yourself. Convincing others is about rebranding – refining your resume, online profile, networking pitch. Convincing yourself is about confidence and self-worth.
In his new book, You Deserve It, by business coach and chiropractor Dr. Josh Wagner, he writes how self-worth provides the critical foundation for success:
Why would life give me what I want if I can’t or won’t give it to myself?
In the case of career change, if you believe you deserve to be in that role, in that industry, in that new life, then you will persevere through the inevitable ups and downs of your job search. If you’re committed, you’ll believe you deserve it and will do whatever it takes to make that happen.
3 – Are you willing to stop what you’re currently doing?
In his new book, Start Finishing by productivity coach Charlie Gilkey, Gilkey breaks down the journey from idea to execution, highlighting the pitfalls that come with taking on too many projects:
Be courageous enough to commit more fully to fewer projects. We often don’t focus our resources on fewer goals and projects because we’re not sure that we’ll be successful with those projects and thus want to hedge our bets. The result is that we invest too little into projects to make them successful and we’re perennially scattered.
In career change, you need courage to stop investing in your old career and instead spending that extra time and energy on your new career. Flitting back and forth from your old career to your new career may seem like you’re hedging your bets, but as Gilkey points out, it’s also a way to stay perennially scattered. Taking on too many projects – i.e., attempting a new career while clinging to your old one – is a recipe for not doing either well. If you’re committed, you’ll stop doing enough of the old to allow for something new.
4 – Are you willing to start something new — something else, somewhere else?
In their new book, Work In Progress, HGTV renovation stars Leanne Ford and Steve Ford detail their unexpected and circuitous route to starring in their own TV show. Leanne started in fashion, and Steve started in recreation, with both of them having multiple roles, employers and business ventures along the way. Leanne credits landing new opportunities outside her area of expertise to her willingness to just jump in. She said Yes to projects outside her immediate expertise, just to get the hands-on experience. She traveled to different cities, even as a student, just to get on a project:
Your answer should always be “I’ll be there”.…If someone asked me to do a job, I simply showed up.
In career change, your answer should also be, “I’ll be there” as much as possible. If you’re committed, you’ll agree to projects that might seem small in scope (or that seem too big), to networking events that make you uncomfortable, to traveling to new places – either literal geographic places or figuratively outside your comfort zone.
Career change depends as much on internal readiness as it does on external forces
When you ask employers to hire you for a job you haven’t done or for an industry where you have never worked, you are asking them to commit on a leap of faith. Are you willing to make that same leap of faith for yourself?

There are a few simple steps to every conflict resolution process, which can you can use for disputes between coworkers or between supervisors and employees.
These steps comprise the acronym LEAD—Listen, Empathize, Acknowledge (and Apologize), and Do something.
Managers at work must have a quick and straightforward blueprint for resolving interpersonal matters in the office. When you’re managing a team of people who have to work with each other, conflict will arise. Here’s a four-step process you can follow.
1. LISTEN
Every conflict resolution process begins with listening. It might sound simple, but it tends to be one of the more difficult things for many people to do. This is especially the case for leaders at work who prefer to move past problems quickly by avoiding confrontation or jumping straight into the solution.
You won’t craft an effective solution without actively listening to people. That means no presuppositions or assumptions, and being curious about what they may be experiencing—whether or not you agree with them.

Now it’s time to take what you heard and do your best to put yourself in their shoes. Remember, this does not mean you have to agree with their assessment. You do, however, need to understand how they feel about a situation. What might they be going through? What feelings are beneath the words they are saying? How does it feel to experience those emotions?
Regardless of how they saw the situation, it’s essential to acknowledge that they’re experiencing powerful emotions. You might not be able to relate to why they’re feeling that way, but you can probably relate to how sadness or anger or fear feel. So, do your best to focus on the underlying feelings rather than the story.
3. ACKNOWLEDGE (AND APOLOGIZE)
Next, we take empathy one step further and vocalize what we sense is going on for the individual. In other words, you are going to acknowledge their underlying feelings. Some people call this labeling, reflecting, or paraphrasing. The idea is to recognize and validate the other’s feelings about the particular situation. Again, this doesn’t mean you have to agree with the content of their story or their assessment of the situation. You’re just letting them know they have been heard and understood.
It may sound something like, “I can tell how upset you are.” Or “You’re angry, and I get it.” Or “Wow, that sounds seriously scary. You must have been afraid.” Acknowledging that you understand what they are feeling helps people drop their guards, and as a result, can become more open to working with you on a solution. Until someone feels heard and validated, it’s pretty difficult for them to move past the feeling and into a more solution-focused mindset.
Now, if you were part of the problem they are bringing up, then it may be necessary for you to apologize. Apologies go a long way in helping people feel validated. Again you can apologize and own your actions without necessarily agreeing with their assessment or story. Apologies and agreement can be mutually exclusive.
Make the apology about you—your actions—not about them. Never, for instance, apologize for how they feel or how they’re reacting. “I’m sorry you feel that way” or “I’m sorry you saw it like that” are truly ways of discounting their feelings, negating any acknowledgment or validation you are aiming for. Instead, own your role. For example, “I’m sorry I said that without considering how it might make you feel” or “I apologize for doing that. I didn’t realize how it might come off.” Notice that you don’t have to say “you’re right” or “I agree.” Just own your role, what you did, and where you fell short. However, if you do agree with their assessment, then let them know. And then tell them what you’re going to do about it.
4. DO SOMETHING
Now, you can move into the solution. After all, you also want to make it clear that something will change, so this won’t happen again in the future. Let them know you’re not just there to hear them, but also to be their partner and ally in addressing the situation.
You may suggest a solution and ask if that would be sufficient. For instance, “I’m going to talk to the director and see if we can officially change that policy. Would that solve the problem?” Or “What if I make an announcement to the team to assure everyone understands the policy. Do you think that would be enough?” When you do this, you’re signaling that their feelings and perspectives matter. Allow space for them to make additional suggestions to your proposed solution.
If you’re not clear on an appropriate solution, you can ask what they would like. It may sound like: “What can I do to make this right?” Or “How can I help fix this?”
Resolving conflict starts with making people feel heard. Your employees must know that they have a voice, and feel safe about sharing their experiences. While you might not always agree with what they think, it is crucial to acknowledge their feelings and viewpoints. When they feel like they have some control over their situation, you’ll be surprised at just how open and cooperative they can be.

One question that’s guaranteed to be asked in a job interview is some iteration of ‘why did you leave your last job?’. What the hiring manager really wants to know is if you’re looking for a new job for a legitimate and well thought out reason, or if you’re just bored and looking for greener pastures.
This question can be phrased differently depending on your current employment status. Other versions are ‘Why are you looking for a new job?’ and ‘Why did you leave JobX?’ Regardless of the question that’s asked, there are a few things you need to keep in mind when you’re giving your answer.
Keep it professional, not personal.
You want to speak about the professional reasons you left your job, not about personal ones. Looking for a shorter commute, to get away from a terrible boss or colleagues, or anything else along those lines are all completely valid reasons – but not to tell the hiring manager. Keep it to the professional side and talk about your work itself.

Generic answers are the surest way to lose a hiring manager’s interest, as they don’t say anything definite about the candidate. Instead of giving a canned answer like ‘I’m looking for more growth opportunities’ or ‘I want a new challenge’, explain why you want those things.
Don’t speak negatively.
Do not speak negatively about your previous job, employer, manager, or colleagues – even if one of those things is exactly the reason you’re leaving. You want your answer to be constructive, not critical. A negative answer shows you off in a negative manner. Avoid saying anything that could be interpreted as a complaint.
Don’t lie.
No explanation needed here – just don’t lie or make things up. Sometimes the reason for leaving is out of your control, so you might be tempted try to spin it like it was your decision to leave. If you lost your job due to the company downsizing and eliminating your position, you can say that. If you were fired or let go for performance issues, speak to what you learned from that experience like how it taught you to be a better employee or to work harder. Being honest, especially about a bad situation, shows that you have integrity.
Don’t over explain.
Keep your answer short and concise, and only speak about what is most relevant. Provide enough detail to paint a clear picture, but don’t overexplain. You can actually end up doing more harm than good if you go into too much detail.
Turn negatives into positives.
Turn a negative into a positive by framing it as something you learned. If you really dislike an aspect of your current job, think about what that made you realize you enjoy. A good way to frame this answer is, I’ve been doing X in my current role, but I’ve realized that my strengths/passions/interests are more in line with Y and Z. For Y and Z, tie in key components of the job you’re interviewing for.
Don’t be overzealous.
When the position you’re interviewing for is your dream job or with your dream company, it can be tempting to want to focus on that as your sole reason for leaving. While it’s worth mentioning your enthusiasm for the new job prospect, don’t go overboard. Mention it as part of your reason but don’t forget to answer the actual question of why you’re leaving.
Mention what you’re looking for in a new role.
Only half of your answer should be about why you’re leaving your current job. The other half should be about what you’re looking for a new role. This shows that you’ve fully thought out your reason for leaving and aren’t just looking to leave because you’re bored.

Maybe you’ve heard this story before: an ambitious colleague insists they’re ready to take on a leadership role. But the company just can’t see their brilliance thanks to “internal politics” – as if upper management is somehow conspiring to keep them out of their rightful position.
I’ve come across this scenario quite a few times. Take Jason, for instance. He was an ambitious international treasurer for a global company, managing millions in cash flow and supervising the efforts of a slew of regional treasurers.
Jason was a star player, no question. He was a technical whiz kid who regularly exceeded his KPI’s. His bosses were thrilled with his execution. Accordingly, he looked forward to annual succession planning with swagger, fully expecting to find himself on the CFO slate.
When the time came, though, his swagger evaporated. Not only was he not listed as “ready now” – he wasn’t on the slate at all!
As Jason’s boss explained, he needed meaningful experience in a broader range of capabilitiesto qualify for promotion to CFO. And although he excelled in technical skills, he wasn’t measuring up in soft skills, like interpersonal awareness.
Jason was shocked. Hadn’t he exceeded all expectations? And weren’t soft skills supposed to be HR’s thing? What did interpersonal abilities have to do with serving as an effective CFO?

Maybe you can guess how the story played out from there. Jason became a bit of a conspiracy theorist about the “old boys’ club” in senior management. Despite his record-breaking performance, in his mind they’d rejected him because he wasn’t “one of them.” So he turned his back on the company and took his talents elsewhere.
But the truth is, Jason could very well have earned the promotion he so desperately felt he deserved if he’d taken a step back and examined the situation through his bosses’ lens.
Three Reasons Jason Didn’t Get Promoted
In my years as a CFO at Microsoft and in my executive coaching practice, I’ve picked up on three attitudes that often derail leadership promotions – including Jason’s:
1) Managing humans is an annoyance. Far from being an “annoyance” or a “distraction,” leading people frequently is the job description at the highest levels of responsibility. Learn to excel at leveraging human relationships, and you’ll stand a much better shot at getting promoted.
2) I’m in love with my job. Believe it or not, there’s such a thing as loving your job too much. When you get hyper-focused on the technical and executional aspects, you tend to overlook the strategic and interpersonal expertise that’ll slingshot you to the next level.
3) I want the top job – bad. Ambition can be a wonderful, powerful motivator. But if you value your promotion to the top more than you value your company’s performance, rest assured the people above you have already sniffed out your true motivations.
Conquering Your Derailers
I refer to harmful mindsets and behaviors as derailers since they often knock promotions – or even entire careers – off the track. As I wrote a few weeks back, conquering your derailers first begins with awareness. Without awareness, there’s only habit and pattern – but with awareness, you gain access to choices that greatly broaden your field of action.
How can you expand your awareness? Start with these three simple steps:
1) Get 360° feedback – plus a personality assessment. A skilled executive coach can interview your stakeholders and debrief you on the feedback. Through assessments like Myers-Briggs or Hogan, you can get a clearer understanding of your personality’s strengths and derailers. A good coach will help you understand those too.
2) Enlist the help of a coach to notice, track, and change derailing behavior patterns that may be torpedoing your career growth. This can be a lot of work, but it’ll pay big dividends.
3) Work with your coach to devise experiments to try out new behaviors and replace the old ones. Don’t go all out at first. Take it easy and begin with low-stakes situations. Then up the ante as you gain confidence.
Don’t Be Jason
Next time you notice yourself vilifying the company for not promoting you, pause and take a breath. Remember Jason’s mistakes. And instead of running for the exit, get some help taking a clearer look at your own derailers. Then work on them!
By doing so, you’ll capitalize on the one thing that’s always yours – the power to examine your habit patterns and redesign your behavior. That’s what leaders do. And that’s why they get promoted.
I help growth-minded leaders deliver impact and accelerate their career success, all while finding joy in the journey. In my 20 years of executive leadership experienc
